History

In 1887, the original Brooklyn location opened its doors albeit under a different name – Carl Luger’s Café, Billiards and Bowling Alley. But in 1950, it was put up for auction with only Sol Forman bidding and subsequently winning both the restaurant and the building where it was located.

Forman was responsible for the rise in prominence of the Peter Luger original restaurant as well as for the opening of the second location in Great Neck. The latter was closed in 1984 due to extensive damage after a fire but it was soon back in business by 1986.

Today, Amy Rubenstein owns the restaurant. Many of America’s celebrities have wined and dined here including New York Governor David Paterson, Robert De Niro, Pete Sampras, James Cagney, Henry Kissinger, Alfred Hitchcock, Elizabeth Taylor, Chuck Schumer, Jackie Gleason, Jerry Seinfeld, and Johnny Carson.

What It’s Famous For

The Peter Luger restaurants especially the original location have been showered with accolades by diners and critics alike. It is the quintessential New York City steakhouse with sublime steaks that have been copied but never equaled, much less surpassed in flavor, taste and texture. Indeed, it may neither be the oldest nor the largest steakhouse in New York but it is certainly the most influential and the most widely acclaimed!

Aside from its world-class steaks, Peter Luger is also well-known for its no-nonsense service with the wait staff actually being knowledgeable about steaks. The interior décor is something else, too – exposed wooden beams, brass chandeliers, burnished oak wainscoting, and weathered beer-hall tables give it a decidedly German beer hall vibe.

Why Eat Here

You will come to Peter Luger for one primary reason – the steak! The restaurants also serves USDA prime beef with the porterhouse cut from a short loin; one side has the filet, the other side has the New York strip, and a center T-bone runs down its middle. Each cut is dry-aged, a process that brings out the best flavors in the steak.

Even the cooking of the steaks is a meticulous process especially as everything is cooked based on orders (i.e., nothing is pre-cooked). Of course, the most popular order is medium rare – pinkish in the middle and charred on top – since it brings out the natural flavors of the steak.
